We’re just about done with planting for the summer season at the Fonda garden.   Which is a good thing, cuz there’s a six-foot thorny weed in the back corner, assembling an army to take over operations.  I think the big one threw a rock at me last week.

Early this month, Fonda inspiration and author Diana Kennedy visited the garden and gave us some pointers for what we should and shouldn’t be growing.  Most of the stuff we planted this month was her recommendation.  A run down of what will soon be appearing on Fonda plates and tables:

  • Squash – Ronde De Nice, Straightneck, Zucchini;
  • Tomato – Sun Gold, Creole;
  • Pepper – Early Jalapeno, TAM Jalapeno, Poblano;
  • Dill – Hercules;
  • Sweet Marjoram;
  • Thyme;
  • Mint;
  • Cinnamon Basil;
  • Cucumber;
  • Watermelon – Sugar Baby, Crimson Sweet;
  • Purslane;
  • Zinnia;
  • Hoja Santa;
  • Epazote;
  • Chard;
  • Random edibles running wild throughout the Fonda landscape
